Join the BIMCO team

Are you the new Manager, Maritime Technology and Regulations at BIMCO?

Maritime regulations, and especially in the area of environmental protection, calls for far reaching measures that will impact construction, operation and dismantling of ships in future decades. BIMCO is looking for a new employee who has a deep understanding of ships’ technical operations and at the same time, is interested in the regulatory side of shipping.

Greenhouse gas emissions top the regulatory agenda and BIMCO plays an important role in shaping realistic global solutions that can work for the industry and at the same time be acceptable to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) member states.

Air emissions are being heavily regulated across the spectrum including SO_x, NO_x and particulate matter. These regulations have a huge impact on the future of shipping; not only on the fuels used, but also the engines burning these fuels and systems managing the fuels on board. Knowing how it really works on board modern ships is critically important for BIMCO. Using expert knowledge to ensure harmonisation and standardisation of international shipping activities through dialogue with both shipowner members and IMO member states, is a key part of BIMCO’s day to day role.

The current role of Manager, Maritime Technology and Regulations, is vacant.

In this role you will:

• work on technical maritime issues and participate in meetings, committees, working groups and correspondence groups in the IMO


• advise and guide members on marine technical issues and regulatory developments within the maritime sector, with particular focus on safety and environmental protection


• participate in internal projects to develop new products for BIMCO members


• attend meetings with various marine technical bodies such as classification societies, international standards organisations and other shipping industry associations


• represent BIMCO at courses and conferences and


• provide input to BIMCO’s Marine Committee.
  

   

  
  

  The successful candidate is ambitious and has:
